If it does turn out to be true I would look like a right ITK though. I just hope it isn't true.

Reading a few comments on brfcs. It appears Rovers went 3 in midfield and pushed Whitts into an attacking midfield role. The substitution would appear to have been to change formation and go with a front two.

While it's worth bearing in mind that they lost and are currently in the bottom 2 (early days and all that), a few have commented that they think Whitts is Danny Murphy mk II, presumably not in the type of footballer, but because Murphy went to Rovers as a bit of a marquee signing but ended up having his contract terminated.

A few have said that Whitts needs legs in midfield to support him, one said they need him for corners and free kicks (!) but the general view appears to have been that he was rather anonymous today. One reviewer was much more scathing, writing this: "Whittingham - 1 - Lost the ball every time he got it in a tight area then just shrugged and gave up. When he got it with time to pass there was no-one to pass to. Literally a waste of time him turning up, but not entirely his fault. Subbed."

Let's hope Whitts can turn things around and show he still can be a class performer. It appears that Rovers are in a bit of a state at the moment, certainly not the easiest situation for Whitts to be at his best.

Thanks for this. Came into this thread looking for this kind of feedback. Really hope he does better going forward.
